Trying to Amplify Antiwar Voices

  Before learning about people dissenting against the government for going to war, I never realized the government was so against that when it came to free speech and press, especially when the press speaks about it. In the mainstream media you do hear talk about war, but never the opposition of it. Unless you are a person who really likes revenge, nobody truly likes the idea of war. It is costly, risks and losses lives, and ruins relationships with other countries. When it comes to the U.S. having its own people speak out against wars that we participate in or start, I really can't wrap my head around why they would want to silence them. One reason why I can think of why powerful politicians would be totally for war is because of the connection it has to money and power. Nowadays lots of defense spending goes to private contractors who pump billons of dollars into the government through contracts. If a president or other government official has interest in private defense contra...

Privacy (or not) across Technology

  From a young age I was always taught that whatever you put on the internet will be out there forever. I never really took it seriously because I didn't think it was true. To an extent I still believe it is not true depending on who cares for whatever you are looking for. When company's like Facebook who owns Face.com have a reputation for targeting users based on their digital preferences and internet footprint, then I believe that whatever you post on sites like these is worth caring about. I also started believing more in what you post always stays on the internet when targeted ads started to become more prevalent.

Companies claim to only use this data to market to its users, but something still rubs me the wrong way knowing that they are listening to you. Luckily tech companies like Apple do an excellent job at assuring their customers data is private, espe...

My Top Five News Sources

Image
Due to the busy demands of my life I don't have time to site down and watch a whole news program or read a lengthy article. I resort to more concise forms of news mostly through social media apps like snapchat and Tik Tok. Occasionally, when i have time, I will watch a network or cable news channel for insight and analysis. On a day to day basis getting my news in concise forms on social media, which I am already on most of the time, is my go-to. Good Luck America GLA on Snap 'Good Luck America' is a daily short show on social media app Snapchat that is hosted by Peter Hamby. Goof Luck America is Snapchat's first original show and only political news show. It was made in an effort to try to appeal politics to young people, and I think that it does a good job of that. It is my go-to for news because it talks about relevant topics, unbiasedly and non-partisan, and Hamby is not afraid to harshly critic politicians or and the media's portrayal of them. Since people in o...
